Some of the leaf tips keep curling down. Haven't given them any nutrients.
About 2 weeks into veg.
Ffof. 2ml Cmag. .5 Si. 1/4 microbes.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

They look pretty good to me, lots of times a little to much nitrogen in the soil will make them have claws , plus they are usually dark green, .
If you haven't been feeding its time to start, FFOF ain't good but for 3-4weeks before you have to start nutrients.

Are you rotating the plant and the leaves lay against the wall? Couple of my leaves are like that cause I ran out of room and they lay on the wall (just an observation of the pic it looks like it might be that)

Two weeks into veg, did you transplant, did you saturate the soil and s-pots? hmmm maybe let them completely dry out. then feed to run off @ about 30% strength.Then chillax til dry I mean like light weight when you heft em.Then water til a bunch of run off. Repeat as necessary..... Might help, won't hurt.

Yea, I transplanted from solo cups to 2 gal smart pots. I let them dry out and saturated, maybe not as much as I should. But I've only been watering once a week. I also rotate them, though not as often as I prob should.

Hey KTG, they look fine to me, you been doing a good job, Just keep track of your ph, an don't overwater,

 

[KnowTheGrow]

Cool, thanks. It's my first time growing anything so...ya know lol. I have another question, I test my ppm run off after every water and it's always much higher than what I put in (100-140ppm) Its progressively gotten down to about 400-500 ppm. Does this have a deciding factor on when to start nutes?

 

[oldjarhead100]

ktg your plants look good to me just like Daas says . Your starting with ffof it has nutes in it so yes your ppm is going to be higher because your adding nutes to the soil before the soil has lost all of its nutes if that makes any sense whatsoever lol .

What is the ppm of just water i use hard filtered tap water my ppm is 240 so if you don't have hard water or use zero ppm water then you should let the ppm get under 500 then slowly start adding nute nothing over 1000 , I am fairly new to the ppm thing so take advice with a grain of salt just putting my thoughts out there Good luck

Hey thanks. Yea, I get what you mean. I read somewhere to never exceed watts in ppm's. But with only 200 watts in veg and then later transplanting into 5gal pots under 400 watts, I'm wondering if I'll ever use nutes under this theory lol.

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

Try, RO, water.

 

[KnowTheGrow]

That's what I've been using

 

[LuckyAcres]

I’m at 1300ppm on feeding days! 500 on “water” days! Crank it up! 😅👍🏻🤙🏻💪🏻⚡️⚡️⚡️

 

[oldjarhead100]

I ordered some GH hard water supplement says to use when water is above 200 ppm , Not sure how ,hopefully it has more info on the bottle than it did on Amazon, if not I will go to web site

Has anyone else tried it?

 

[oldjarhead100]

sometimes I amaze myself with how fn stupid I can be I got the hard water stuff from GH what a waste of money it does not change the water its to use with it doesn't do shit lol just another nute

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

Hey OJH, what did they do send the wrong stuff ???, I'd send that back, well no, it's so damn much trouble, that sux don't it.??
